A LOT OF patience paid off Tuesday of last w»»k and Harry Woodruff caught this steclheed as the result. He was fishing a short distance below the city pumping plant when ha hooked this nine pound 15-ounce fish on a light trout tackle and 12 pound line. Playing the fish skillfully for over an hour and a half was necessary before it was landed and could be weighed in for the only catch recorded last week in the Hahn Hardware steelhead derby. Les Galloway weighed in a 14-pound lS-ounce fish the week before for the top catch that week. A vacancy on the county fair board arose Wednesday of last week when the county court was informed by Gl»n r Hawkins of his resignation in a letter which states: "The decision is made after due consideration of many prob- lems involved. I believe firmly in the spirit of the county fair and will always be willing to help in any way that I can to promote its growth.”
